Carthaginian elephants were a formidable weapon used against the Romans during the Punic Wars. These massive creatures, often adorned with armour and carrying war machines on their backs, were employed in several key battles.
But...they were vulnerable to fire, which could panic the animals and cause them to turn on their own troops. Elephants were also difficult to control in the heat of battle, and could sometimes become unruly and unpredictable. Despite these risks, the Carthaginians continued to use elephants as a strategic asset throughout the Punic Wars.
Notes
Once downloaded, the sheets can be printed as often as you like, which means you can build up Large Herds of Elephants very cheaply.
You will need scissors, a craft knife, glue, appropriate paper and some stiffer card for bases, all of which are described in the how-to section.
The figures are laid out in A4 format, which will print onto US legal sized paper, or will fit US letter size printed at 93%.
You can, of course, print the figures in any scale you choose, making them uniquely flexible in this respect.
You will need to make a stiff Card Base for each stand. Dimensions of the stand is up to you and your preferred rule system.
Our Motto is Paper Armies, Proper Armies!
